For a nice section of radio shows from this series go too the following "SPERDVAC.con" or connect me at Radioholmes.aol, have over four-hundred of them direct from discs.
The first eighteen TV programs are network versions and the others are the syndicated versions. The network have titles.
The three episodes from the 1966 CBS cartoons are NOT on the bonus disc. They use the same opening from one of the programs for all of the episodes. They think they can trademark the opening music on this. You can't tradmark the "William Tell Overture", it was composed in 1829. It was a good try but they could have done better. The prints could have been clean-up. This was done with "The James Bond" films.

Product was just great. DVD quality was great. So good to watch something and not have to worry if my grandson came in the room. I grew up with the Lone Ranger and it was always a treat to listen to the radio and hear the the song come on. Brings back great memories of my child hood

When you consider that The Lone Ranger TV Show (1949 - 1957) was produced in the early years of TV the production values were quite good with great morals to be learned by the younger generation of that time. The restoration of these episodes make this look like a new series produced in black and white. I would give this a four star rating with all things considered.

I love this set but hate that part of the openings is missing where the narrator says, "With his faithful Indian companion Tonto, the daring and resourceful masked rider of the plains, led the fight for law and order in the early west. Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear. The Lone Ranger rides again!"
Also, the close up of the LR rearing up at the rock, the insert shot, doesn't fit and I don't remember it being there. Many of the episodes are time sped, but having said all that, it is clear that the producers of this set took great care in remastering and adding extras and I for one appreciate their effots. Any LR fan will be happy to have this, despite its imperfections.

To J herman and all the other fans..Yes, the idea of this box set is wonderful. Yes, the prints look pretty damn good for a 60 year old show.BUT I'm into the seventh disk already and have seen the pattern of the shows. ( I might have to amend my comment when I'm all done, however )The episodes are the ones shown a bunch of years ago on the western channel. They are edited down because I happen to have a dvd set of " Lost Episodes " which give you the entire show, General Mills flag swaying before a wind-whipped field of wheat, and the original commercials--some with Clayton Moore himself. First off, the opening ride on this anniversary box set is from the color episodes with the color eliminated. The insert shot is who knows what. After the ranger rears Silver, he rides down the hill along a winding narrow path, a short shot of riding down a hill behind a boulder without Silver's extra chest piece ( it's from the origin episodes )and then out into a badlands scene with him riding right at you and firing his pistol straight at the camera and toward you the viewer. All this to " with his faithful Indian companion Tonto the daring and resourceful masked rider of the plains led the fight for law and order in the early west....return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear when the Lone Ranger rides again"... I know these episodes to be true, cause I watched them in the fifties as a little boy. I even had the ranger double gun set and used to stand in front of a mirror and try to outdraw myself. ..The show's closing seconds showed the ranger and Tonto riding along a winding path and over the top of a small rise to the narration of " return with us next week...." They always had in the shows these great shots of the two of them making abrupt turns to the right or left. ..Still, it's wonderful to have this box set and am anxiously awaiting the rest of the series. ..Now where on earth is the first six wonderful years of Bonanza???
